YOUNG DEMOCRATS HEAR E. H. TAFT 0 State Organizer Explains Aims "It is important that the youth of America get a proper send-off into na tional government when they come of voting age and that is the purpose of the Young Democrats club," said ,E. Hoover Taft, state organizer for the Young Democrats club, to the local club last night in Phi hall. "The clubs constitute & welcoming committee for the national Democratic party," he explained, "and not as a factor in a political machine." Taft remarked that he thought the Young Democrats club one of the best ways possible to combat Fascism and Hitlerism, as it taught the proper methods of democratic government to the young people. Seventy counties in North Carolina have active", dues-paying clubs and there are similar clubs in all states of the nation. He explained the scarcity of the organizations in eastern North Carolina by saying that the Democrats there have no competition. "I don't know of anything that mixes with politics as well as pleas ure," Taft said, in suggesting that the University club hold joint meetings with other collegiate Young Demo cratic clubs over the state.

The group Dan Gregory Tomorrow For UNC, DUKE GROUPS MEET TO DISCUSS SCHOOL RELATIONS Inter-Campus Raids Threaten To End Sports Competition Seventeen Duke and Carolina repre sentatives met at a banquet in Gra ham Memorial last night to discuss means of promoting more friendly re lations between the two schools, be-J cause they felt that the early outbreak of inter-campus raids this year indi cates that roughneck rivalry is in creasing to the point that athletic competition between . the- two schools may have to be discontinued to stop destruction of property. Jim Davis, president of the student body of the University led the group in an informal discussion of the prob lem after the meal. General opinion was that raiding groups consist of a small body of students, usually fresh men who have a mistaken idea about what real school spirit is, and who are not representative of the majority of the student body of either school. BACKBONE The representatives agreed that the backbone of a program to foster a more friendly rivalry would have to be education of the student body in the real meaning of school spirit through the student publications, clubs, and fraternity and dormitory organizations. Representing Duke at the meeting were: Tom Hanlon, president of stu dent government; Robert Moyer, and Dick Connar, junior representatives of student government . association; Tim Brinn, president of the YMCA; Art Peabody, president of the Pan Hellenic council; and Duncan Gray, editor of the Duke Chronicle. Carolina's representatives were: Jim Davis, Bob Magill, Fred Weaver, Dave Morrison, Jim Woodson, Jim Joyner, Reddy Grubbs, Jack Vincent, Vance Hobbs, Martin Harmon, and Studie Ficklen. Necessity for emphasizing that the friendly spirit be continued to include the after-game celebration was brought out at the meeting. Di Will Sponsor Forum Tonight After "Town Meeting?

A committee to investigate the Buc caneer was appointed last year by Jim Joyner, who was president of the stu dent body at that time. This commit tee did not take any action until this year when it drew up a bill recom mending that the Buccaneer be made independent of the University. The bill suggested this because a sizeable group of students was forced to take the magazine due to compulsory fees, and because the publication had af forded embarrassment to the Univer sity. It was pointed out in the discussion, however, that anyone who did not de sire the magazine, could ask for the return of the fee paid to the adminis tration and that no one has ever asked for this money to be returned. It was also stated that the publica tion does not offer much embarrass ment to the school and that no severe complaints have been received from ' anyone outside of Chapel Hill. The bill was almost unanimously defeated, and no further action will be taken by the legislature. SAFETY COUNCIL A committee presented a bill at the first meeting of the legislature recom mending that a safety council be or ganized on the campus to enforce certain-standards of. '3af.drivihg and, " with the cooperation of the American Automobile association, to advance safety education on the campus.

At the first meeting of the year five members-at-large were elected to the legislature who were supposed to rep resent the town students. It was re ported at the meeting last night that (Continued on page 4, column 3) Press Association Membership Given To Daily Tar Heel The Daily Tab Heel yesterday was given $10 for membership in the North Carolina Collegiate Press association, Ed Rankin, president of the PU Board announced following a meeting of the board.
